<p>would taking the ACTs be looked down on when applying to UCs?
i think i'm just feeling insecure because i took the ACTs while pretty much all of my friends took the SATs</p>
<p>Doesn't matter what your friends take. Not one iota. If the UCs accept the ACT and you'd rather take the ACT, then take the ACT. Schools that take both weight them equally. They don't care which you take.</p>
<p>Schools want your best score regardless of whether its the SAT or ACT. Higher scores = better reputation for school.</p>
<p>The UCs don't care which test you take.</p>
